Current members of the Kingdom of Fife (Amateur) League, the Strollers own their own ground at Overstenton Park, and their club photos show that they have an excellent pavilion built in 2016. The Strollers are an "SFA Legacy Club", with boy and girl youth teams, and the club's adult team should meet the EoS entry criteria. The amateur team folded around 6 weeks ago. It’s a new team that the strollers are trying to form to play in eosl. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have they 'merged' or affiliated, with Glenrothes Juniors who have applied to join the EoS ?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluebell1 Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 The amateur team folded a believe because they were struggling for numbers. A lot of there players and committee were leaving end of season anyway to join another amateur team who were starting up for next season again Strathmiglo who also folded earlier in season. No link as far as I am aware with Glenrothes Juniors and the strollers apart from a think the Glens new youth set up was taking a couple of older teams from strollers. Strollers announcing this new adult team strikes me as an attempt to keep there older teams. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never visited Glenrothes, but from the internet photos, both seem to have good grounds/facilities. Are they - I assume you've been to both ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never been to Strollers, no reason to really but they seem to have put a lot of work into the new pavilion, just need to get the rest of the ground upto standard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patriot1 Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 I was told this morning that some of the Strollers were going to the juniors so this application by the strollers may be a survival bid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much why Syngenta put their application in as well, they had no path way and with the real Clubs around them moving to 20s they jumped onboard, Little Kerse and its suitability for EOS will come to light over the next couple of weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have they actually applied? From what I hear coming from the Syngenta camp and they have appointed a 1st team and 20s manager to run it, so it certainly appears they have or will. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However as long as the strollers have a plan and aren't going to fold in a couple of years then welcome on board. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably they have or are still planning to given they're advertising "a full club pathway to the senior game" on FB. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
